The leisurely life of the rich start

Zhang Da has already decided to participate in the appraisal meeting of the White Pearl Restaurant.

"Do you miss me?"

On the way to the parking lot, Cheng Mingming asked deliberately.

Zhang Da nodded: "Of course I think about it."

"How much do you think?"

Zhang Da half-jokingly said: "Let's put it this way, McDonald's will hold a shareholder meeting tomorrow, and I pushed it off."

Passers-by on the side gave him a contemptuous look.

Today's young people are really good at bragging!

"Boss, their demands are too harsh!"

"That's right, we can't agree to this ridiculous request."

After the first day of the McDonald's shareholders meeting, Otis personally contacted Tang Haitao.

The condition given by Otis is still to buy shares at a premium, while Tang Haitao asked the Black Rock Group to assist in the acquisition of a Premier League giant.

After the meeting, Otis chaired another internal meeting.

Those who attended the meeting were still his "Second General Fat and Slim" and his secretary Amy.

"Yes, this request is unreasonable."

Compared with the two subordinates, Otis considered more comprehensively,

"I think their request represents an attitude. They are not short of money, but they hope to get some other resources."

Bob was the first to react: "You mean, it is difficult to achieve a pure cash purchase?"

"That's right." Otis said, "Actually, this is not a bad thing for us. We have a lot of resources at hand, and I believe we can impress each other. Bob, you must have prepared a corresponding plan, right?"

Bob nodded, "Of course, sir."

John hesitated and said, "Sir, the Crocker Company should also contact this Mr. Tang..."

"Don't worry, they don't have as much resources as we do," Otis said. "I'm sure we'll always be on pole in this race."

In Crocker's meeting room.

The CEO of the company who also had contact with Tang Haitao——

Hill Crocker, is also chairing a meeting.

After hearing Hill relay Tang Haitao's request, his subordinates said worriedly: "Sir, I'm afraid we won't be able to meet the other party's request."

"I know, but since it's a negotiation, there will be flexibility."

Hill said, "We can't convince the owners of the Premier League giants, but some Championship teams, or Premier League relegation teams, still have a chance."

"But, sir, can the other party be satisfied with such a condition?"

"No matter what, we must first show our sincerity."

Hill waved his hand, "I can't sit back and watch Black Rock take away the power of the board of directors, we must go all out."

"Also, we are not fighting alone."

Two days ago, they had persuaded the third largest shareholder of McDonald's Corporation and Kroc Corporation to form an alliance to jointly fight against the Black Rock Group.

In the middle of the night, Tang Haitao was reporting the situation to Zhang Da through his mobile phone.

"Mr. Zhang, I have made initial contact with the two companies and put forward our conditions."

Zhang Da replied: "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I'm afraid it will be a tug-of-war next,"

"That's right." Tang Haitao said, "However, through today's talks, I can feel that both parties are determined to acquire stocks."

"Crocker, in particular, has shown great will."

"Next, I plan to strengthen the relationship with Crocker. On the one hand, I will see if they can come up with a sincere offer. On the other hand, I will also stimulate the stronger Black Rock Group."

"No problem, just play by ear." Zhang Da said, "If you have any questions or difficulties, please feel free to contact me."

Tang Haitao said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

After joining Zhang Da's investment company, Zhang Da gave him full trust.

He must repay this kindness with all his strength.

Three days later, Tang Haitao reported the latest progress to Zhang Da.

Zhang Da asked with great interest: "Will Crocker Company help us acquire a Championship team?"

"Yes, the other party promised to buy us a Championship team that is expected to hit the Premier League, such as Leeds United or Norwich."

Tang Haitao said, "The representative of the other party also said that if we are willing to give them more time, they are willing to find a way to buy a Premier League team for us."

"I see. The Premier League team cannot be trusted." Zhang Da pondered, "Go ahead and talk to them. The stock price is still rising, so we don't need to worry."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang." Tang Haitao said, "Look, if the time is right, can I release the news that our negotiations with the Kroc Company are progressing?"

Zhang Da said: "Of course, this may put more pressure on Hei Yan."

Tang Haitao said cautiously: "Yes, Mr. Zhang, I hope we can get the result we want."

...

In the Black Rock Group, there was another meeting.

Bob said: "Boss, I have received news that Mr. Tang has contacted Crocker again."

"There is also news that Crocker is capable of completing the acquisition of a Premier League club in a short period of time." John also said, "But the authenticity is open to question."

"Well, don't care too much about these messages."

Otis said, "Even if it is us, it is difficult to facilitate the acquisition of a Premier League team at the right price, let alone them?"

"We continue to contact Mr. Tang and increase the quotation appropriately, just like boiling frogs in warm water, to test their bottom line."

The sun rises and the moon sets, and three days slip away like a fleeting moment.

"Mr. Tang, I'm going to fly to Yanjing soon, and I won't be able to talk to you for about three hours."

In the VIP waiting room at the airport, Zhang Dazheng was on the phone with Tang Haitao, "If you need to find someone to discuss something urgent, you can contact Vice President Xiang first."

Mr. Xiang's name is Zhang Xiang, and he is Zhang Daxin's new deputy general manager.

This gentleman was born in science and engineering, with good abilities, and his "emotional intelligence" seems to be quite high.

As soon as he joined the company, he set himself the title of "Vice President Xiang".

According to what Zhang Da learned privately, Zhang Xiang once declared publicly:

"In Mingda Investment Company, there is one and only one Mr. Zhang."

Tang Haitao is also clear about Zhang Xiang's position.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang. It's already night in Citigroup, and I hope there will be no emergency."

"Also, I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you, I hope your negotiation goes well."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Da walked towards the boarding gate with three small bags on his back.

He shook his head silently.

It doesn't matter if the special plane stops at Citigroup and doesn't need it, how can I become a tool for my girlfriend and cousin?

Life is not easy, Mr. Zhang sighed.

Cheng Mingming and Shao Yu, who rarely got together, chatted very happily.

"Sister Mingming, when we arrive in Yanjing, can you take some vlogs with me?"

The newly promoted 73-fan up master is "fooling" free labor.

The free labor force happily said: "Of course it's okay, but I'm afraid I won't be able to shoot well."

Shao Yu continued to fool around: "How could it be? Sister Mingming, I have seen the video you took of my brother playing football, and it was really good."

Zhang Da couldn't help interjecting: "Obviously, don't be fooled, this girl is fooling you into working for nothing."

Unexpectedly, Cheng Mingming glanced at him: "Don't talk nonsense, Shao Yu is not this kind of person."

Shao Yu hurriedly made up the knife: "That's right, brother, you can't always think that the crows in the world are as black as you."

Zhang Da: "..."

2Chapter 17 Jude Building

The plane landed safely in Yanjing.

Zhang Da, who booked two suites at Yanjing Wangfu Peninsula Hotel, enjoyed the Rolls-Royce Phantom pick-up treatment as always.

Shao Yu suggested: "Brother, how about we go to Sanlitun at night?"

"Let's talk about it at night." Zhang Da, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said, "Didn't Teacher Qi ask us to have dinner at night? If there are other activities after dinner, we can go another day."

"Alright..." Shao Yu nodded, "Then we'll go to a dessert shop as soon as we check in? I've been planting grass for a long time!"

Zhang Da couldn't help turning around and said, "No, didn't you eat on the plane?"

Shao Yu took it for granted, "Lunch is lunch, and dessert is dessert."

Cheng Mingming nodded in agreement.

Zhang Da turned his head back: "Alright."

...

In the evening, the three of Zhang Da met Qi Kuan and Chef Hou in a restaurant called "Judelou Restaurant".

Like them, Chef Hou also came to participate in the competition.

Zhang Da stepped forward and introduced: "Mr. Qi, this is my girlfriend, Cheng Mingming."

As for Chef Hou, the two of them had dinner at Jiangnan Stove a few days ago, so there was no need to introduce them again.

Qi Kuan smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Cheng Mingming said: "Where, it is my honor to meet Teacher Qi."

"Haha, let's stop being polite to each other." Qi Kuan asked, "Do you have any taboos?"

Cheng Mingming quickly shook his head and said, "No."

"Okay." Qi Kuan said with a smile, "Mr. Wang Xifu is in charge of the chef here. There are a lot of special dishes. Please have a good taste."

Zhang Da said, "Okay, thank you Teacher Qi."

Qi Kuan waved his hand and said, "Hey, you're welcome, I haven't thanked you for sending me fruit and candied dates from Dubai yet."

Last month, Zhang Da suddenly missed the pineapple, berry and other fruits that he ate in Dubai, so he ordered a large batch.

While enjoying his own food, he did not forget to send a copy to all the friends he knew.

"Well, the black watermelon and pineapple berry in Dubai are very delicious." Chef Hou said, who also received Zhang Da's delivery, "If the cost is not too high, I would like to put them in the fruit plate of the restaurant."

Qi Kuan joked: "Hey, some things are like this, there is nothing wrong with them except they are expensive."

"Let's talk about food." Chef Hou said with a smile, "I also help Xiao Shao take a vlog."

"Hey, thank you Master Hou!"

Shao Yu, who set up the camera, smiled happily.

...

"Antiques are like that, expensive but entertaining for me."

In an old castle in Canada, Ximeng, who had just finished his morning exercises, was chatting with Otis in the living room.
